Easy bolt on upgrade

Trash

Installed in a JKU Sahara 2010
Very bad design, left arm is hitting the front bar. Have to cut it. Right arm is about 1" from the skid plate, have to use a lot of washers.

Nice

It's a very sturdy skid that looks the part. It required some cutting & drilling to install on my particular year of Jeep (2012 JKU - I think cutting and drilling required for 2010+), so not bolt on. It didn't cover as much of the front end as I expected, but still a solid front skid.

Quality skid that is affordable

Good, quality fit and function at a nice price. Overall decent protection. Only bad side is the sub-par allen bolts. Re-use your originals, as the allen head bolts are easy to strip if they are snug and RTV is around the threads on install.

Good protection at a good price

Overall, a nice piece of protection. Fits as designed with no problems. Just re-use your original diff cover bolts as the allen head hardware supplied is cheesy. If the open hole in the allen head is packed full of dirt...good luck, and if they stick, they are not coming out after you strip the allen head holes from reaming on them.

Nice Fit

Product fits nicely without modifications. Be sure to leave all of the bolts nice and loose before tightening any one of the. Heavy duty with a nice powder coat finish.

Easy to mount, does its job

I have a 2000 TJ Wrangler, and I am in need of a gas tank skid and in my many searches I have found that most manufacturers specify that their skid plates can not but used with a body lift in place, I currently have a 1" body lift to accommodate my high clearence tranmission skid plate, will the Rugged Ridge model work with a body lift? It does not specify in the details I have read here and on other sites.
